'Fallout: New Vegas' is a dumpster fire worth revisiting
The Toledo Blade
—
I contemplated many things while stuck in the ground — the force of my own grenade blowing my character’s body into the earth like a radiated vegetable.
Should I have thrown an explosive at point-blank range? When was the last time I saved my game? How is that Deathclaw still hitting me if I’m completely underground?
Most of all, why am I playing Fallout: New Vegas for what has to be the billionth time?

What better way for a company to celebrate its best year on record than to fire 8 percent of its staff? For games publisher Activision Blizzard, these roughly 800 jobs all suffered because of the most nefarious of reasons: not meeting investor expectations.

Fallout 76 Took Me Home
The Escapist
—
I trudge through the muck and porous earth from Vault 76, emerging into an Appalachia that isn't as I left it. The sounds and sights are the same, with beams of light piercing the autumn foliage and the sound of locust buzzing through the air like a car alarm spoiling an afternoon nap.
How Dragon Ball Super's Broly became the anime series' Boba Fett
Polygon
—
An anime hero and an anime villain are often two sides of the same coin; one character sets off on a chosen path and the other is a dark mirror of those decisions. The best rivalries hinge on commonalities that link hero and villain in a bond that is serendipitous, yet seemingly written in the stars.
Spector: Game development's lure was too strong to stay away
Austin American-Statesman
—
Famed video game designer Warren Spector had a hand in some of the most important games of the past 30 years. From "Thief" to "Ultima Underworld" and "System Shock," the Austinite made his mark on gaming with open-world, open-choice games that left morality decisions up to the player.

Gaming attacks a deflection of bigger issues
The Toledo Blade
—
In the wake of every mass shooting since Columbine is a moment where someone places the blame on video games. Like clockwork, politicians and censorship groups such as the Parents Television Council decry the ruination of our country’s moral fiber and mental state because of interactive entertainment.
And it is all so exhausting.

Board games like 'Settlers of Catan' have big spot at SXSW Gaming 2017

Tabletop gaming is about as low-tech as you can get: Board games comprised of cards, dice and plastic. Despite that, the fast-growing hobby has a home right in the center of the SXSW Gaming Expo, with Austin-based Emerald Tavern Games & Cafe and Catan Studios bringing the best in board games to the film, music and technology world.

The esports lowdown at SXSW 2017

Competitive gaming is perhaps the biggest cultural phenomenon of our time that the average person knows nothing about. The scope of esports is larger than ever before, as games like "League of Legends," "DOTA 2" and "Street Fighter V" pull in millions of players, but also a growing and loyal viewing audience.
'Horizon: Zero Dawn' reinvents post-apocalypse genre
The Toledo Blade
—
If ever there was an old and busted video game setting in 2017 then it's for sure the post-apocalypse. Gamers have scrounged the barren wastes, solved messy moral quandaries, and sifted through the ashes and relics of a world left to rot for far too long.

I knew my life was forever changed the moment I tried Torchy's queso. That warm tortilla chip with a touch of salt ferried a complex combination of cheese, habanero, and fresh guacamole into my mouth -- and heart. There was no going back.
